Basically, Japan House exists to promote the best of Japanese culture. Oddly, it's steering clear of anime, manga & video games so far in what we've seen of the gallery and gift shop. Hopefully, with the expansion we see at least a little nod to some of Japan's media we love so much in the states.
Here's what will be getting listed from the official site:
- A gallery for local and traveling exhibitions
- A retail shop with the expertly curated selection of unique Japanese retail products
- A small café
- An event space hosting a wide variety of programs including seminars and lectures on various issues of mutual interest as well as world-class gastronomy events in partnership with the local community and Japanese organizations
- A relaxing library lounge where visitors can peruse a well-curated selection of books and digital resources in various categories related to Japan.
- A restaurant featuring exquisite Japanese cuisine
